Thanks to its many useful features, Google Meet has become one of the most widely used video collaboration services over the past year. To really bring the video calling service to the masses, Google has been working on integrating Meet into a number of other services. In the past, you may have started a meeting on Google Meet with Gmail or used Google Meet from within Google Classroom, but did you know that you can also add Google Meet to your calendar?

Yes, you read that right. You can actually start or join a meeting on Google Meet from your Calendar service, which is not only limited to Google Calendar but also works if you are a Microsoft Outlook user. In this post, we will explain different ways to add Google Meet to your Calendar and also tell you how to use its different features.

Google Calendar already has an existing integration with Google Meet, which is pretty consistent with Google’s ecosystem of products. It’s up to you to start a meeting on Google Meet, which is as simple as creating an event and adding your guests.

You can start a Google Meet meeting in Calendar by opening the Google Calendar homepage in your web browser and clicking the "Create" button in the top left corner.
